Temps/Advice

[Matthew-g]

I would like some advice on what to do.

I am running a 6700k @ 4.2ghz 1.20v Adaptive.

 

Case: NZXT 630 Filters Inplace

Cooler: H100I GTX

 

Are the following temps fine

 

Idle

CPU: 25c

Coolant: 28c

 

Stress Test RealBeanch 2 Hours 

CPU: 74c

Coolant: 40c

 

The radiator is set up to push air from within the case through the radiator.

 

I removed the filter and this was the results after 2 hours of RealBeanch 

 

CPU: 71c

Coolant: 37.5c

that's a 240mm right? you're really getting 70C? but you're barely overclocking. this seems odd, you either got bamboozled by the silicon thickness (what everyone is blaming on the TIM even though it's not) or you cooler mounting isn't quite right (including thermal paste application and coverage in this).

 

I think it's more the first option, but it's worth trying before deliding

Temps sound about normal to me. If you want to improve your temperatures, you will probably need to delid (which is because of the TIM identity, as opposed to the thickness - i always re-lid my delidded CPUs with similar silicon thickness). Anyway, no point arguing what it is in delidding that helps, the conclusion remains the same.

 

Your temps sound about correct for skylake.

welcome to the Linus Tech Tips forums!

 

do not run synthetic benchmarks on ADAPTIVE VOLTAGE mode.

when in that mode, the voltages are overcompensating for the load.

Would changing my radiator fans help?

 

Currently I have 2x Akasa Piranha 1900RPM on the rad

 

Also what would you say the max coolant temp should be?

[airdeano]

help? faster fans, yes, but not dropping them by 5°-10° if that's what you mean.

the stock fans prolly would do the same or better at full speed, but doubtful the ears would approve.

try working applications or games to 'verify' thermal ideas over using synthetics due to adaptive voltage mode. otherwise, just use manual mode if synthetics are your concern.

max coolant temp is 55°-60°.

Ok, I am playing divinity original sin 2 for 1 hour now and these are the results.

 

CPU load 64%

CPU temp 68c

GPU 66c

Coolant is 41.5c

What is the highest voltage you get in game? Adaptive voltage could be pushing it higher than 1.20v.

I'm not sure myself if the IHS paste on a Skylake cpu could be bad enough to have 68c, its still a safe temp but doesn't leave you much room for a higher oc.

Corsair link is reporting the Vcore is hitting a max of 1.28v

I was thinking of replaced the stock front and rear fans would that make the system any cooler and how would acoustics be.

Current 
Frount 200m 800rpm
Rear 120m 100rpm 

Replacements
Front: 2x Corsair ML140 2400RPM
Rear: Corsair ML120 2400RPM
